Hello. I have a question. I am visiting friends in San Francisco today so I spend the last hour requesting for spg ride like everyone else.
10 minutes ago I got a ride comformation from uber about one of the spg drivers but after 2 min she canceled on me. I dont know if that was an accident or on purpose but what should I do? I have screen shot from the uber app with the confirmed ride and expected arrival 9 min before she canceled.

Well, probably missed it. Saw the option pop up 3-4 times, while I was in various neighborhoods. Was more or less continuously checking for 3+ hours, on auto-pilot while I was doing other things.
At this point in NYC probably all the rides have been given away, at about 15-20 minutes per ride on average, longest this would have lasted is 2 hours, unless SPG instructed drivers to ration it.

Just caught one in SF. Got dropped off at Mission 16th. I think Union Square wi be your best bet.
Driver said I was his first ride and he can give 5.
Pro tip: keep requesting even if it says no cars available, you will get the first one when the previous trip ends.
Sheraton amenity kit is ok, free wine glasses, Starbucks coffee drink and wifi card.
But I just wanted the 15k

Thanks for the tip! After a few narrow misses, I tried this approach and was able to grab one here in SF. Westin-branded car for me - free bathroom for the mrs
140 total rides today (28 drivers). I was my drivers 2nd of the day.

I got a SPG/Uber ride in SF right at 2:00. Caught it at Market and Montgomery. It was an Aloft branded Esclade. Amenities included water, bliss products, a few candy bars, a Wired magazine and a USB dongle with microusb, 30pin Apple and Apple lightning charging connectors. There was also a little box with a card announcing the 15,000 mile bonus. It said redemption instructions would be in the Uber receipt email. So far I have not received the email. Has anyone else?

Separate from today's promo - has anyone actually had points post?
Edit: n/m, the 24-hours was for eligibility; earning is 2-4 weeks after a trip

Good to hear. Sounds like SF got a few more rides than some of the other cities. I assume because Uber is based here.

SPG + Uber Partnership - Earn Starpoints with Uber Rides
Really jealous that you all were able to take advantage of this. My account still won't link. Would have been great if SPG and Uber IT could have sorted out the account linking issues before running such a great intro promo... Not sure what the timeline even is on fixing it.

I literally stalked an SUV to the mission but no luck. I've been running the app on 2 devices basically pressing nonstop for 2 hours. Aagh.

Lovely, but little disappointing. I was hoping for a bathrobe or a big surprise.
No email from Uber yet, but I see the ride listed in my Uber account online with SPG indicated.
Did anyone notice that the 15,000 SPG points are specifically for redemption and category 1-5 hotels? They're not just 15,000 points deposited in your account.

I tried from 2-7 in SF and could never get one. Also I could only see the spg option on my wife's uber account and not mine which was highly annoying. This promotion was definitely a failure on both Uber and SPG's part.
